I tested this by switching to a console from the installer in text mode. Despite I specified in the installer that the partitions were of type 'fd'. According to what I was checking after to switching to the console, the installer did not make the corresponding changes in the partitions so I had to manually make changes with fdisk. Then I created md devices making second member is 'missed'. But to return to the partitioner of the installer in text mode, this did not take the changes. Even going a step back and choosing a custom design, I can not see the md devices created through the console. Have I to perform some additional operations to take the changes in the installer? Thanks for your replies.
